Cowboy Up was the sensation of the spring 2016 bull sale season when two-thirds interest of him sold for $350,000 and at the 2017 Bases Loaded Sale a 10% semen interest of him sold for $120,000 to make him one of the most valuable living Angus sires with a full sister heifer calf pregnancy to Cowboy Up selling for $50,000 to top that division of that very elite Angus sale.

Produced by a $100,000 Hinman Angus Pathfinder Dam whose first four natural progeny have an average weaning ratio of 114 with three yearlings recording an average ratio of 114 and an average URE ratio of 106 and offering an outcross pedigree for most of the Angus breed’s most popular sire lines, Cowboy Up has been used extensively across the breed as a yearling and he will certainly climb into the Top 25 Angus sires of progeny registered in 2018.

One of the first daughters of Cowboy Up sold at auction commanded a bid of $52,500 for half interest in the 2017 Big Event at Express where another daughter from his first calf crop sold half interest for $40,000 with his first yearling sons to be offered for sale in the spring of 2018 expected to have the power, volume and extra muscle expression to be favorites of both purebred and commercial cattlemen.

The Number 3 sire of progeny registered by the American Angus Association in 2018, Cowboy progeny have been popular with all who have them and his sons will anchor many spring 2019 bull sales.
